1971 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Convertible on 2040-cars
|
Up for sale is our 1971 Ghia convertible. Runs and drives really nice- recently serviced, new belt, new German big pulley and German little pulley. When I bought her about years ago it had the aluminum Scat pulley system. I exchanged for an original German pulley set. Front light and back light are in working order as well as the windshield wipers and horn. Floors had patch work done in the rear area prior to my ownership. Doors close nice and solid. Rocker panels are solid and the door post are solid. No rot. The car is garaged kept by me and also from the previous owner. I had no plans to restore and wanted a weekend/Florida winter weather driver. Car will need your touches and is ready for a new owner. We love this car and my wife and kids will be a little disappointed but we are entertaining the idea of buying/trading for a VW THING or Pre68 VW Bus. Also included is the convertible sun cover pictured. I do have the original rear glass for her.Clean title on hand. Please email for more information or pictures. Convertible top frame is complete with the hardware, front bow is in good shape. The top is present but the top will need to be repaired or replaced - we only drive it when the weather is nice and always with the top down anyway :), it will also need a headliner. I do have the original rear glass for her. Keep in mind it's a 40 year old car that was actually enjoyed and will have your traditional blemishes for it's age. Original color was orange and can see some of the original color in a couple of the wheel walls and under the steering wheel column. We've owned her for 4 years have driven her occasionaly every other month. True mileage is unknow but I believe the last owner had it rebuilt about the same mileage displaying on the odometer (which he owned for close to 10 years). I do start her up every month and she starts up like a champ. We must have only driven her less then 1000 miles and mostley to church on Sundays. I will help with coordinating shipping (at your expense) to get her to your new home. Send your best offer, good luck and god bless! |

VW budget sub-brand stuck in limbo over VW standards, costs
Sat, 01 Mar 2014Reports in October 2012 claimed Volkswagen had begun investigating the creation of its own budget brand. This came after having failed to purchase Malaysian car company Proton or produce a meaningful partnership with Suzuki, and after watching Renault-Nissan make piles of euro on Dacia and plot the return of Datsun.
For VW, more important than the question of what to call it was how to build it profitably and in a way that didn't damage the VW brand. According to a report in Autocar, a satisfactory answer still hasn't been found. The hurdle is how to hit "'necessary' quality and safety levels" at the price points needed to make the venture worthwhile. At the time of the 2012 report, German outlet Der Spiegel said VW was trying to get prices down to 6,000 to 8,000 euro ($7,784 to $10,379 US), about two thousand to four thousand euro under the price of the VW Up and in line with the cost of a 6,790-euro Dacia Sandero in Germany.
In March 2013, VW announced, "We want to bring a true budget car to the market in China in the foreseeable future," the most concrete move in that direction after years of planning to make a decision. Working with local Chinese maker FAW, it was predicted that the vehicle in question would appear around 2016, but as of November last year a final vote on it needed to wait until this year because "We are still working on the cost side" and profit possibilities for a car that "has to be durable, it has to be precise, it has to be safe."
New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
VW recalling 2.64M vehicles worldwide over engine, light issues
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Volkswagen is staging a massive, worldwide recall that's already grown from 1.68 million to 2.64 million vehicles and covers three different issues across a number of vehicles. We already reported on 61,000 Tiguans getting recalled over lighting issues - that was just in the US. Globally, however, VW will be recalling 800,000 Tiguans, according to Automotive News, with the focus on CUVs built between 2008 and 2011. The issue with the Tiguan relates to a simple fuse swap, so this is rather unremarkable, aside from the sheer number of vehicles being fixed. The real, troubling issues relate to gearboxes and pickups.
239,000 Amarok pickups (pictured right) are being recalled over fuel leaks, while 1.6 million vehicles are being recalled to swap the synthetic oil in dual-clutch transmissions with mineral oil. Now, the transmission issue is one for the global Volkswagen Group to address, not just the VW brand - vehicles from Audi, Škoda and Seat use the same seven-speed DSG and are covered under the recall, as well.
Why the switch from synthetic to mineral oil? Apparently, using the synthetic oil in a DSG and then subjecting it to stop-and-go conditions or heavy loads in a hot and humid climate can lead to electronic malfunctions, according to a Volkswagen press release. The switch, from the sounds of it, is largely a preventative measure.
